Synopsis of the Order 

1. On July 24, 2006, the Commission 

released its Further Notice of Proposed 

Rule Making (FNPRM), 71 FR 45511, 

August 9, 2006, in the above-captioned 

proceeding. The current deadlines to 

file comments and reply comments in 

this proceeding are September 22, 2006, 

and November 21, 2006, respectively. 

2. In the FNPRM, the Commission 

seeks comment on how to address the 

issues raised by the U.S. Court of 

Appeals for the Third Circuit in 

Prometheus v. FCC with regard to six of 

the Commission’s broadcast ownership 

rules and initiates the 2006 quadrennial 

review of the Commission’s media 

ownership rules. We are seeking 

comment on each of the ownership 

rules remanded by the court, and are 

encouraging parties to submit comments 

that include empirical evidence, as well 

as sound economic theory. 

3. On September 14, 2006, ION Media 

Networks, Inc. (ION) and Free Press, et 

al. (Free Press) filed separate motions 

asking the Commission to extend the 

comment and reply comment deadlines. 

Both ION and Free Press assert that they 

need additional time to complete 

research and analysis and to compile 

data necessary to fully address the 

complex issues raised in the FNPRM. In 

addition, Free Press suggests that an 

extension of time would allow parties to 

respond to issues raised at the 

Commission’s upcoming hearing on 

media ownership, scheduled to take 

place on October 3, 2006, in Los 

Angeles, California. 

4. We believe that the public interest 

and our goal of assembling a full record 

in this proceeding would be best served 

by granting an extension of the 

comment and reply comment filing 

deadlines so that parties may have 

sufficient time to conduct studies and 

compile data that will inform our 

decision in this proceeding. The new 

deadline for comments is October 23, 

2006, and the new deadline for reply 

comments is December 21, 2006. 

5. Accordingly, it is ordered that ION 

Media Networks, Inc.’s Motion for 

Extension of Time and Free Press, et 

al.’s Joint Motion for Extension of Time 

filed in the above-captioned proceeding 

are granted to the extent stated in this 

Order. 

6. It is further ordered that the 

deadline for filing comments in this 

proceeding is extended to October 23, 

2006. 

7. It is further ordered that the 

deadline for filing reply comments in 

this proceeding is extended to December 

21, 2006.

Petition To List the Anacapa Deer 

Mouse as Threatened or Endangered 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of 90-day petition 

finding. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), announce a 

90-day finding on a petition to list the 

Anacapa deer mouse (Peromyscus 

maniculatus anacapae) as threatened or 

endangered under the Endangered 

Species Act of 1973, as amended. We 

find the petition does not present 

substantial information indicating that 

listing the Anacapa deer mouse may be 

warranted. Therefore, we are not 

initiating a status review in response to 

this petition. We ask the public to 

submit to us any new information that 

becomes available concerning the status 

of the subspecies or threats to it or its 

habitat at any time. This information 

will help us monitor and encourage the 

conservation of the subspecies. 

DATES: The finding announced in this 

document was made on September 28, 

2006. 

ADDRESSES: The complete supporting 

file for this finding is available for 

public inspection, by appointment, 

during normal business hours at the 

Ventura Fish and Wildlife Office, U.S. 

Fish and Wildlife Service, 2493 Portola 

Road, Suite B, Ventura, California 

93003. Submit new information, 

materials, comments, or questions 

concerning this subspecies to us at the 

above address.
